Page 3 - Happy Birthday Mithu Baitay Ji

All parents wish for a healthy, happy, easy-going, handsome, intelligent, hardworking and
successful child. When you were born, you were everything and more of what we wanted. And

then your silly mama made you colici, sent you to the hospital for ten days by feeding you

uncooked milk, put tremendous pressure on you to get your teeth, start talking, start walking,

start reading, start competing and what not.

Well, you were my first-born. I made all the mistakes a parent can make. Yet, look at you! You

are the best! You are healthy, happy, kinda easy-going sometimes, superbly handsome, extremely
hard-working, and successful beyond our expectations. You were a top debater in USA, you are

ranked among 40 under 40 lawyers. You have created history by being the first lawyer to argue
cases in the Supreme Courdt of the United States. Your achievements are too many to list. You

don’t even share all the recognition you get. You are wise beyond your age and you are a

phenomenal story teller! You grew up eating filet mignon and chicken, but you turned vegan to
save this planet and prevent animal cruelty. You are everything a parent can wish for and this

planet can home for.

You are my child, my love, my pride, my wise one, my advisor, my counselor, my nurturer! I know
you are always there when I need you. You are there to sit and listen, you are there to walk and

talk, you are there to cook and feed. You give me hope and happiness; you give me endless

Thanksgiving feasts; you give me much to look forward to. You are a blessing in my life. And this

blessing has grown five times with Anna, Leo, Felix and August.

I love you so much meray baitay. Stay happy and healthy, joyful and generous and loving and

loved. Your immensely grateful mom
